Description

On her way to school, Hannah is pecked by a bird and discovers that she can fly and sing coloratura. Her friends Natan, Aziza and Otto also have strange experiences and develop unexpected superpowers – not only of a musical nature. A mysterious storyteller sends the four friends into a parallel world where they are charged with protecting a blue pig from dubious villains. Soon however, they are doubtful about their task: who is really the bad guy here? What is the significance of fighting for all that is good and against evil? And what does the blue pig have to do with the situation? This new opera by Anno Schreier and Jürgen R. Weber treads a path through all kinds of music – cheeky, entertaining and fun for the whole family. And one thing becomes clear: you should never trust people who tell stories about good and evil.
